do you guys remember when we found the extra Kirby sound files in the 3DS Mewtwo Update?
just figured something interesting out that kind of confirms a new stage coming soon.
take a look at this:
now, at surface value this picture doesn't mean anything. it's just four characters on Battlefield having a good old smash.
but, something to note about this is that in this picture i'm playing classic mode.
in classic mode on the 3DS, it is
impossible to encounter Battlefield unless you're going up against Mii Team. so what gives?
well, recently we discovered that there was a new theme song for a Kirby stage in the Mewtwo Update. (heard
here and
here) we're already suspicious--and almost sure that there's going to be a new Kirby-themed stage.
but after delving into classic a few more times, i found out that encountering
King Dedede in Classic mode set the stage to Battlefield instead of his normal arena, GBA Dream Land. battlefield is the "default" stage of the game, so when you encounter Dedede, the game tries to load this new stage ID (let's say id 35, since 0-34 exist in-game), it says "wait, id 35 doesn't exist/the player doesn't own this dlc", so it'll do the fallback that nintendo probably hard-coded in the case a player's data gets corrupted, which sends them to Battlefield. (much like how character id 0 in Melee is Master Hand, and stage id 0 is FD.)
this only happens if Dedede is the main fighter in that battle, so the path would have to be a Kirby star, and Dedede would have to be the trophy in the front. this doesn't happen on the Wii U version of the game. so maybe this new Kirby-themed stage will be related to Dedede in some way? i might be late on this dedede bug, but i figured i'd post something interesting about the new stage thing. i'd say this essentially confirms a new stage is coming soon for the Kirby gang.
